Stylish Blogger Award

1. I was born in Wyoming, but have lived in Colorado, Alaska, California, Arizona, and now Georgia.

2. One of the reasons I moved to Georgia was so I could fly a University of Southern California flag with all the rest of y'all.  Plus I wanted to see what this side of the country was like.

3. I loved to build forts when I was a kid.  Secret places where (I thought) adults could not find me.  I am designing homes today, although now I prefer adults.  I think we all could use a little more imagination, creativity, and fantasy in our everyday lives.

4. I worked at Michael Smith Inc for four years, but started for a few months at the reception desk to get my foot in the door and worked my way up to Designer.  Extreme luck because I found the job posting on Craigslist.

5. I am an extreme organizer.  I make lists of lists.  I think I could make better use of my time if I organized less.  I like organizing other people's stuff over mine.  Its a sickness.

6. I have been dying to travel to Croatia for about 7 years, the culture, the beaches, and food, not to mention the fact they are not on the euro yet is very appealing.  Crossing my fingers 2011 is the year!

7.  I am a road foodie - When travelling I want to try the best of local cuisine and we do a lot of road tripping.  Chile in New Mexico, BBQ in West Memphis, Gumbo in Louisana.  Okay, I just really like eating out, but I like to cook too.  Boils down to: I love to eat.

Thanks to Lissa from After Adornment for including me in the Stylish Blogger Awards.  I got to tell you 7 things about me and then nominate other bloggers.  Normally I don't participate in chain activities, however this is fun and interesting - I got to know Lissa a little bit better in her post.
